Purpose: Ultrasound tissue characterization (UTC) is used to visualize and quantify the Achilles tendon structure. We investigated the intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of UTC for quantifying the midportion tendon structure and the area of maximum degeneration (AoMD) in military personnel with midportion Achilles tendinopathy.
Method: UTC scans of 50 patients (16-60 years) were processed twice by rater 1 and once by rater 2.
